Join us for the TBLC 2025 Annual Conference!
March 22-25, 2025 at Chapman University
The Team-Based Learning Collaborative (TBLC) invites educators and other professionals to attend its 24th Annual Conference on team-based learning at Chapman University in Orange, California, USA from March 22nd – 25th, 2025.
The TBLC is a non-profit organization of educators and other professionals from around the world who encourage and support the use of team-based learning in all levels of training and education. Pre-conference workshops are scheduled for March 22 and March 23. Pre-conference workshops will provide attendees with the Fundamentals of Team-Based Learning, including the creation of modules and effective implementation strategies.
The theme for the 2025 conference is “Active Inclusive Teaching and Learning: Igniting Curiosity & Belonging”. The conference will have two plenary addresses presented by experts in the field of TBL.
The conference will also include hands-on workshops, oral presentations, and poster sessions. Participants are encouraged to sign up specifically for workshops in a designated track, or according to topics that interest them. While the Pre-Conference Fundamentals workshops will provide attendees with the basics of team-based learning, sessions on Innovation and Research & Scholarship will challenge attendees to further develop their skills or to collect, analyze, and publish their work in team-based learning.
We hope to see you in Orange, California in March!
Sincerely,
David Fuentes, EdD, PharmD, MSOL, SHRM-CP
